Extra Information

Soweto is a township of the Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality located in Gauteng, South Africa, bordering the city’s mining area in the south portion. Previously a different municipality, it is presently fused in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. It turned into an autonomous municipality with chosen Black councillors in the 1983, in accordance with the Black Local Authorities Act.

Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital is the 3rd largest Hospital in the world and being the largest in Africa.

Making our way to Orlando West you will pass by the original site of a coal fired power station, Orlando Towers has become one of the most distinctive landmarks in the neighbourhood of Soweto. The power station was shut down in 1998 and was transformed into an entertainment and business centre in 2008.

Arriving in Orlando West we visit Vilakazi Street- drive past the former home of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Visiting Hector Pieterson Memorial, you will have an opportunity to read about the Soweto uprising on 16 June 1976. On that tragic day an innocent little boy called Hector Pieterson gave up his life and kick-started the liberation of South Africa.
